Episode 10: Sayian Pride

Narrator: Previously on Team Chronicle: Mark challenged King Vegeta to a fight for the throne in order to get the other Sayians help in stopping Frieza. However, even with the use of Kaio-ken x10, Mark was defeated, & was saved by death only by the intervention of Bardock's squad & Double D. That night, Mark had another idea. What could Mark have planned? Can it possibly help in defeating Frieza?

OP: "Dragon Ball Heroes Theme" by Takayoshi Tanimoto

(Early the next morning, everyone is getting ready.)

Bardock: You ready for this guys?

Tora: You bet!

Fasha: I'm ready.

Shugesh: As I'll ever be.

Borgos: Ready.

Bardock: Great. Listen…if we don't make it…it's been an honor.

Mark: You all remember the plan, right?

Double D: I have it memorized down to the letter. But are you sure it'll work?

Eddy: Yeah, we haven't had a lot of time to work on this.

Mark: Don't worry. (Mark looks at his cross necklace.) I have faith; I know it'll work.

Gine: Raditz, listen carefully; I want you to get in an Attack Ball & get as far away as you can from this planet. If your father & I survive, we'll come & find you. Do you understand?

Raditz: But Mother, I can fight!

Gine: I know, but not here. Please don't argue, just do as I tell you, okay?

Raditz: …Okay.

Gine: Good. Remember: I love you Raditz.

Raditz: …You're too soft-hearted for your own good.

Bardock: Alright everyone, I'm heading up! Follow my lead!

Planet Vegeta Defenders: Right!

(Everyone takes off.)

Raditz: …I love you to, Mom.

(Meanwhile, up in the space around Planet Vegeta…)

(Multiple aliens are all floating near the planet, coming from a round, domed spaceship. Above the ship, a purple, horned, domed alien is sitting in a hover-chair.)

Frieza: At long last. Remember this day well my loyal soldiers, for today marks the end of those accursed monkeys, & the legend of the Super Sayian!

(The alien soldiers cheer.)

?: FRIEZA!

(Everyone stops & looks towards the planet. Bardock is floating in front of the army, glaring at Frieza.)

Bardock: I know why you're here, you overgrown slug! If you want to destroy the Sayians, you go through me!

Frieza: Oh, how adorable. This monkey thinks he can defy me. HAHAHA! I don't feel the need to dirty my hands on you. Soldiers! Bring me that monkey's head!

Bardock vs. the Frieza Force

(Bardock charges the army, who fire Ki blasts towards the Sayian. Bardock dodges them all & reaches the first line of defense & starts pounding soldiers left & right, making his way towards Frieza. Halfway there however, a power Ki blast hits him, stopping his charge. Bardock turns & sees Dodoria, backed up by a humanoid alien with light blue skin, golden eyes, & green hair, & fish-like humanoid with indigo skin.)

Dodoria: Well, well, look who came up here to die early. There ain't no weird boy to save you this time, Bardock; plus, I've got some stronger backup this time around.

Zarbon: Ah, so this is the Sayian who you failed to kill.

Dodoria: Hey, I told ya, I got interrupted!

Cui: Yeah, by a kid.

Dodoria: Oh, shut up & let's kill 'em already!

Zarbon: Very well.

(The three general all charge Bardock, when suddenly, three forms appear & kick the three aliens in the back, knocking them down.)

Dodoria: Oh, what now!?

(The three forms are none other than Ed, Double D, & Eddy, all wearing spacesuits. Mark, Gine, & Bardock's squad appear behind them.)

Gine: Bardock, are you okay?

Bardock: I'm fine, just a scratch.

Frieza: What?! Wait. (Frieza eyes Mark.) Ah, so you're the one that gave Dodoria that beating. I assumed he was covering up being defeated by one of those monkeys.

Mark: & you must be Frieza. Well, let me tell you something; I won't let you destroy the Sayian race!

Frieza: Is that so? Well then, (Frieza teleports out of his chair.) I suppose I can humor you for a bit. You may have defeated Dodoria, but I assure you, you are going to die here.

Mark: We're all destined to die. The only question is, what you can leave behind. I choose to die fighting to save lives!

Eds: Us too!

Mark: Get ready Frieza because today…

Planet Vegeta Team: THE SAYIANS FIGHT BACK!

BOSS BATTLE: Frost Demon Emperor of Universe 7

FRIEZA

Planet Vegeta Defenders Vs. the Frieza Force

BEGIN!

Music: SAIYAN BLOOD

(Gine & Bardock's squad charge the foot soldiers, while the Eds take on the three general, & Mark & Bardock charge straight towards Frieza.)

Bardock's Squad vs. Frieza Force

(Multiple soldiers surround the squad & charge. Just then, Gine teleports in front of the squad.)

Gine: Solar Flare!

(Gine emits a bright light that blinds the soldiers, causing them to stop. The rest of the squad then charges the soldiers while Gine fires Ki blasts to provide cover fire.)

Ed vs. Dodoria

Dodoria: Head Breaker!

(Dodoria charges Ed, head first.)

Ed: Kaio-ken x4.5!

(Ed ignites a red aura & catches Dodoria's head butt, being pushed back, but not losing his guard.)

Dodoria (thinking): Ah, great. He can do it to.

Ed: Blast Cannon!

(Ed fires a massive yellow Ki beam out from his hands, launching Dodoria back.)

Double D vs. Zarbon

Zarbon: I'll start first if you don't mind. Elegant Blaster!

(Zarbon fires a beam of orange Ki towards Double D. The boy backflips to dodges & prepares his own attack.)

Double D: Flip Shoot!

(Double D fires back at Zarbon, who dodges, but the blast hits his armor's shoulder pad, shattering it.)

Zarbon: Hmm. A bit stronger than I anticipated. I guess… (Zarbon's body bulges, becoming more monster-like in appearance.) I'll have to unleash the beast from his cage!

(Zarbon rushes Double D, who activates his Ki Blade.)

Eddy vs. Cui

Eddy: Kaio-ken x5!

Cui: Don't think that trick will work on me! Bomb Strike!

(Cui charges Eddy. However, Eddy catches Cui with one hand & then slams a fist into the general's face, breaking his scouter. Cui then teleporters back a distance.)

Cui: Fine, I'll unleash my most powerful attack! Dustard Impact!

(Cui fires a large, red Ki wave.)

Eddy: Kamehameha!

(Eddy fires his attack, & the two beams collide, equally matched.)

Mark & Bardock vs. Frieza

(Bardock & a Kaio-ken x10 empowered Mark throw a flurry of punches towards Frieza, who blocks them all with ease. The emperor then slams his opponents' heads together & throws them away. He then charges up a Ki attack.)

Frieza: You bore me. Death Beam.

(Frieza fires a yellow Ki bullet towards the two. Regaining his focus, Mark grabs Bardock & teleports them both out of the way. The two then power up a counter attack.)

Bardock: We'll blow you away! FINAL SPIRIT CANNON!

Mark: This ends now! DODON RAY!

(The two beams hit Frieza directly, creating an explosion. When the smoke clears, however, Frieza is unharmed.)

Frieza: Hmph. How pathetic.

Mark (thinking): Crap! Even at Kaio-ken x10, our attacks aren't even scratching him!

Bardock: Well Mark, any other brilliant ideas?

Mark: One. (This may kill me…but then again, so can Frieza, so what's the harm?) KAIO-KEN x20!

(Mark's Kaio-ken aura shines brighter & deeper than it ever has before, covering the entire battle in a red light. Everyone stops & stares, the Frieza Force's scouters beeping like crazy. Frieza looks shocked.)

Frieza (thinking): That…that power! C-Could it be?

Mark: FRIEZA! I'll end you!

(Mark teleports right in front of Frieza & lands a punch to the emperor's face that makes the alien flinch.)

Frieza Soldier: N-No way! He hurt Lord Frieza!

Frieza Soldier #2: What is he?! He can't be the Super Sayian of legend, he's got no tail!

(Mark continues to pummel Frieza, beating the alien to a pulp. However, Mark's Kaio-ken gives out.)

Mark: Uh-oh. (Well, it lasted longer than I thought it would. Even so…this is gonna SUCK.)

Frieza: YOU! (A purple aura & lightning surrounds Frieza; his face is one of extreme rage.) You think you're better than ME!? Did you think you could stop ME!? I AM FRIEZA! I RULE THIS ENTIRE UNIVERSE! & what are you?! A BOY! A CHILD! YOU ARE NOTHING COMPARED TO ME! NOTHING! (Frieza is engulfed in his aura; when the aura clears, Frieza has lost his horns, has a longer tail, & has lost the purple armor he was wearing.) I WILL OBLITERAE YOU! I'll KILL YOU! I KILL YOU ALL!

Mark: Uh…I think I made him mad.

Bardock: You THINK?! (That's…that's Frieza's final form! I never expected him to unleash it here!)

(Frieza raises a finger above his head & gathers energy. After a few seconds, a ball of black Ki the size of a moon, surrounded by orange lightning forms.)

Frieza: When I'm through with this planet, NOT EVEN ATOMS WILL REMAIN! 100% BLACK SUPERNOVA DEATH SPHERE!

Dodoria: SOLDIERS! GET OUTTA THE WAY!

(The Frieza Force quickly get out of the way of the attack. The sphere quickly engulfs the defenders before they can do the same.)

Frieza: HAHAHAHAHAHA! Now you see! None oppose me & live! Did you honestly believe you could stop me!? DID YOU?!

(Mark, still visible in the sphere…smiles.)

Mark: Of course not. But, then again, that wasn't the plan.

Frieza: …What?

(Suddenly, one by one, the defenders vanish into thin air.)

Frieza: What?! Where did they go?!

(Just then, Frieza hears a voice in his head.)

Mark's Voice: You're right Frieza; we can't save Planet Vegeta…

(Frieza turns around & sees…the ship Mark & the Eds arrived in, with all of the defenders inside it!)

Mark: …But we can still save the Sayian race! See ya!

(The ship disappears in a flash of light. Frieza floats, frozen, while Planet Vegeta explodes behind him.)

Frieza: …Damn you MMMMMOOOOONNNNNKKKKKEEEEEYYYYYSSSSS!

(Just then, at the Cul-Da-Sac…)

(The ship reappears in Double D's garage. Everyone exists the ship.)

Eddy: HAHAHA! We're ALIVE! WOOHOO! EAT IT, FREEZER!

(While the Eds celebrate, Bardock turns to Mark.)

Bardock: I have to hand it to you Mark, that was a pretty good plan, making those clones to fight in our place while we fixed your ship.

Mark: It's Double D you should thank, he came up with the technique.

Shugesh: Did you see the look on Frieza's face when he turned around? Man, I'm not going to forget that! It was hilarious!

Gine: Well, yes, but…what if Frieza finds us here?

(Ed approaches the group.)

Ed: No, Sayian Warrior is a prequel; in the latest issues, Frieza is dead.

Mark: You hear that? You guys are safe!

(The Sayians start to celebrate…except for Gine, who has tears in her eyes.)

Mark: Gine? What's wrong?

Gine: Raditz…Kakarot…our home…it's all gone! Now…my children are alone with no one to take care of them!

Bardock: Gine…

(Gine starts sobbing. Mark touches her shoulder. Just then, he gets an idea.)

Mark: Ed, do Raditz & Go- er, Kakarot appear in the series after that issue?

Ed: Yep! There the main characters!

Mark: You see? They're going to be okay. I promise, you'll see them again someday.

(Gine wipes her eyes & smiles.)

Gine: …Okay. (Gine turns to Bardock.) So…where are we going to go?

Mark: You're more than welcome to stay here. The people here accepted me with open arms; I'm sure they'll do the same for you.

Bardock: Hmm…what do you think, guys?

Tora: Well, considering we have nowhere else to go…

Gine: I think it's a great idea!

Bardock: Alright, we'll stay. Although, I have to warn you, we get dangerous under full moons.

Ed: Not if we cut off your tails!

Eddy: I'll get my dad's hedge clippers!

Sayians: Wait, WHAT?!

Bardock: Why you…

Eddy: Uh-oh. RUN FOR IT ED!

Ed: AH! ANGRY MONKEY!

(Ed & Eddy run away while Bardock chases them.)

Mark: See? You're adapting already!

(The other laugh while Bardock continues to pursue the two boys.)

Bardock: GET BACK HERE, YOU BRAT!

Eddy: It was a JOKE, Bardock! It was a JOKE! You heard jokes before, right?! HELP!

Narrator: And so, Bardock, Gine, & Bardock's squad has been saved from their planet's demise at the hands of Frieza. However, little do they know that this adventure will be the catalyst for their introduction to the Multiverse. What will our heroes do next? As before, all will be revealed…as the journey continues!
